Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers-Chapter 125: The Greedy Beta
Chapter 125: The Greedy Beta
(Author’s POV)
Sara looked at the sky, the sun was about to rise. She then turned her head towards Noah, took two steps and stood him front of him, face to face. She ruffled his head and patted him like a child, "You are a good person, Noah. Whether you are a human or a werewolf, it does not matter to me. I like you because you are Noah. Not an Everests or a wolf."
Noah was overwhelmed with emotions. No one has said such words to him while growing up. His family has shunned him. His maternal family was cruel to him to. They didn’t wanted to be associated with him. Only Greg and his family and very few of the other pack members, showed any kind of sympathy towards him. But most of them pitied him.
His eyes turned slightly watery as he pulled Sara into an embrace and hugged her tightly. She hugged him back. The sun rose from the sky and they lost in each other’s passionate kiss.

On the other side, Keith was getting restless. He wanted to punish Caiten, but on his own terms. Now that Lucius was adamant on locking his son up, he was frustrated and out of option. He went to the Moon Shine Pack and asked to meet Lucius.
Lucius was exhausted from all that drama and was about to sleep. He shrugged at Keith’s request and said, "Let him wait, I am tired. I need sleep."
Keith waited and waited but Lucius didn’t show up, he got agitated by this. Hanson was inside the throne room accompanying Keith.
"Hanson Gilbert does your Alpha think that he can do anything to my son and this pack won’t survive the consequences. I am the Alpha of Half Shade Lunar Pack, one of the most powerful pack not just on this continent but in this whole world. I can completely destroy and finish this pack if I want."
Hanson tried to calm him down, "You need to relax, Alpha Keith. It is not good to get angry. If you just listen to what I have to say, your son and this pack both will survive this ordeal."
Keith didn’t utter anything. Taking the cue Hanson continued, "Alpha Keith, I have a plan to get your son out but you need to join hands with me, are you up for it?"
"What plan? Are you trying to trick me into something?" Keith was skeptical of Hanson’s suggestion.
Hanson was a greedy wolf. Where there was money and power, he would turn to that side. He could wag his tail like a dog for power. He was loyal to no one but money. He knew how rich and powerful Keith and the entire Half Shade Lunar Pack are.
"Alpha Keith, I don’t have any reason to trick you. I just want a little favor from you. Your pack has discovered two new gold mines, I suppose. Gold is good. Its value is increasing day by day." Hanson spoke his mind.
"Speak, what your plan is?" Keith urged him, he was getting impatient.
Taking that as a yes, Hanson got excited and spoke, his voice was thrilled but he tried to whisper, "I can manage to sneak out your son out of the dungeon. But before that, you need to transfer one of the mines to my name," he proposed.
"Firstly, I have to know what your plan is in order to agree" Keith asked curiously.
Hanson shared the details of his foolproof plan. The more he spoke, Keith’s rigged shoulders eased and relaxed bit by bit. At the end of it, he has already made up his mind to go through with it.
But still, he tried to negotiate, "And what if you fail or betray me? I cannot trust someone who can so easily betray his own Alpha and pack."
"I am betraying no one as my loyalty bends towards the one with absolute power and who could give me what I want." Hanson smiled. His grin was filled with greed and avarice. "We can even sign a contract."
Keith was satisfied by his answer. He had seen fair share of money grubbing people like Hanson. And also, he didn’t have much choice because his top priority was to free Caiten.

Time passed by and the day went on just like that and dusk was approaching. Nathan and Sara remained in the hospital with Noah accompanying them. Greg returned home because eventually Steven had told his mother about his injuries but not the cause of it as it was a confidential matter.
Caiten, who was locked up inside the pack’s dungeon was battered and bruised all over his body. He was nakedly tied up with thick and strong silver chains and Gamma Owen, on Lucius’s strict orders had commanded the pack’s Delta to look after the guest properly.
He was whipped and slashed by the Delta, who was known for his ruthlessness. His arms, his legs, back, torso and even his face were bleeding profusely. They have fed him a drug which would not let him turn into his wolf form for the time being.
Soon, Hanson with a fire torch in his hand came to the dungeon. When he arrived, two pack warriors were staying guard outside his cell. Hanson shooed them away, "You both can go for now. I need to speak with the criminal and give him the second dosage if the drug."
"Yes, Beta Gilbert" they both went away but didn’t go too far.
Hanson looked at Caiten’s torn up condition. After getting such treatment, Caiten had passed out and was lying on the floor. He walked towards him and pressed his foot on his injuries directly.
Caiten screamed in agony as Hanson started laughing at his misery. He then crouched down and whispered near his ears, "Caiten Snow, you need to scream some more, otherwise they will know." He then showed him Half Shade Lunar pack’s emblem, which was Keith’s possession.
As soon as Caiten saw it, he started screaming and screeching. Hanson added, "Your father has sent me to rescue you."
Though, even in his state as soon as he heard that his father has sent someone, his eyes lit up, ’I knew father would never abandon me.’ He howled and squalled loudly enough for the guard. The guards went out of the dungeon.
Hanson told Caiten the whole plan and he asked, "Why are you helping me? You are Moon Shine Pack’s Beta?"
"I am on your side. I too hate Noah." Hanson left it at that and soon there plan came to action.
